Working with me 101

As a technology executive, I drive business transformation through strategic tech leadership, focusing on scalable innovation, team excellence, and measurable business outcomes. My approach combines enterprise-scale technical expertise with strong business acumen and people-first leadership.

Background

  • Studied Law (LLM, Jagiellonian University), followed by a lawyer’s apprenticeship.
  • Career path started in law, with years of experience representing European transport companies.
  • Pivoted into tech, ultimately leading development teams as CTO at VML Poland.
  • My tech journey began with frontend development and evolved into a focus on automation, alignment of tech with business strategies, and process improvement.
  • Experienced in coaching, consulting, and training in soft skills; I even co-edited a Polish personal development e-magazine.
  • Beyond coding, my heart beats for cinematography, photography, Formula 1, and cycling.

Me

  • Family man; my daughter's interests and quirks add color to my life and often inspire my perspective on tech and creativity.
  • Strongly people-focused: I value people management, team development, and helping others grow.
  • I thrive on meaningful connections and interesting conversations.
  • Book lover with a particular interest in tech, psychology, and philosophy.
  • Efficient problem-solver with a strategic focus but love a good challenge and reflection.
  • Obsessed with new technologies—if it’s cutting-edge, I’m likely already exploring it.

Communication

  • Detail-oriented in meetings and discussions; I appreciate brevity, clarity, and a concise summary.
  • Prefer structured communication—Slack and email work well for me, and I’m known to respond within a reasonable timeframe.
  • I appreciate time for reflection before jumping into action, so if it’s complex, expect I’ll think it through.
  • Lean towards asynchronous communication; real-time interruptions can break my focus.

Management Style

  • Transformational leadership is my sweet spot—I believe in guiding people to unlock their potential rather than micromanaging.
  • Collaborative decision-making is key; I trust my team to bring their best and enjoy working alongside them to reach goals.
  • High focus on strategy and results, but I’m flexible on process—if you have a better way, bring it forward.
  • Keen on nurturing a culture of continuous learning and curiosity.
  • Like to keep the mood calm and composed, even during tough projects; stress rarely shows on the surface.

I am really good at

  • Leading cross-functional teams with clear, aligned goals.
  • Keeping calm and focused, even in high-pressure situations.
  • Staying current with industry trends and aligning them with our strategic goals.
  • Optimizing workflows, creating efficiencies, and translating vision into executable plans.
  • Breaking down complex challenges into manageable steps—strategic thinking over endless meetings.

I could improve at

  • Toning down my tendency to juggle multiple projects simultaneously—sometimes, fewer is more.
  • Prioritizing aesthetics when I’m knee-deep in functionality (my design isn’t my strong suit).
  • Strategic communication adaptation - my diplomatic style excels in complex stakeholder environments, though I'm actively strengthening direct communication for high-stakes, time-sensitive situations.

I can't get enough of...

  • Building tech strategies and aligning them with business vision.
  • Discussing innovations over a good coffee or after-hours drink.
  • Deep focus on a challenging problem or creative solution.
  • Traveling with family, sharing new experiences and discoveries.

I am not a fan of…

  • Long, recurring meetings without a clear agenda.
  • Projects with vague goals or no clear vision.
  • Disruptions that take me out of my focus zone, especially when I’m deeply engaged.
